The V.T. 'Xmas White Rose' & the L.S.L. E.C.S. at Woodhouse Mill - 4686

            Trying to avoid the limitations of taking shots directly into the sun, a move over to the north side of the main B6200, Retford Road, shows the view of the 3 lines towards Treeton Junction, though not really a junction anymore, and a few minutes later, this surprise came rattling passed. It was a surprise as the designation for this working was 0M73 in the time-table and it was running an hour early from the Doncaster area, so hadn't taken much notice of it. Being a regular mid-day service, it would normally pass through here, as a class 66, at around 12:22, an hour after I had left, there being just one move approaching from the south, an E.C.S. working from Crewe H.S. with a couple of class 47s on it. So, this is clearly not a class 0 light engine move as, indicated in RTT, but the normal class 6, 6M73, with Freightliner, class 66 at the front, 66505 on the 6M73(0M73), Doncaster Up Decoy to Toton North Yard, 'Civil Engineers' train with a rake of 20 yellow, M.B.A., Monster Box Wagons'. The sunny afternoon light is now helping with the scene and even the Freightliner looks good in the sunlight as it rattles south with the empty box wagons.. The timing load in RTT indicated 1235 tonnes but with 'identity' 0M73, which may have explained why it started out late, now wagons to haul except, it did! It was good to get a freight move in the hour here as well as the two coaching trains, the Xmas Charter to York, just gone by and following in about 10 minutes, a coaching stock move from the Crewe Holding Sidings, to Hessle Road near Hull, a preparatory move for another charter tomorrow, from Hull to Bath Spa..
